FULL DESCRIPTION
This premium performance Rutlands® router table features the R5008 router table stand, R5134 phenolic router table top, R5137 phenolic router table fence, R5131 plunge router lift and two R5015 double feather boards.

Router Table Stand
The legs and braces on this router table stand are made from 38mm wide x 2mm thick box-section steel for guaranteed strength and rigidity. The stand has been specifically designed to ensure that the legs and braces fit perfectly square to each other, via a series of pre-welded locking nuts and stainless-steel fixings. The feet have a large 45mm diameter footprint for optimum stability and have fine height adjustment when levelling on uneven workshop floors. Each foot is fitted with a heavy-duty rubber pad to offer excellent vibration dampening.

Phenolic Router Table Top
This table top is made from a 19mm premium-grade, low friction, solid phenolic that is extremely strong, hard wearing, scratch resistant and waterproof, eliminating the risk of warping or distortion when working in cold or damp workshops. Phenolic is produced under extreme high pressure and heat resulting in a table top that is exceptionally accurate, flat and level. The 800mm wide by 600mm deep table ensures excellent support and stability when routing large and long workpieces. Set flush in the top is an extruded aluminium, double T track which includes a standard 19mm track for use with mitre gauges and feather boards, and a 6.3mm T slot for use with stops and home made jigs.

Phenolic Router Table Fence
This router table fence is precision CNC machined from aircraft-grade aluminium with a black anodized finish and features two solid phenolic sub-fences . Made from a 19mm premium-grade, low friction, solid phenolic the sub-fences are extremely strong, hard wearing, scratch resistant and waterproof, eliminating the risk of warping or distortion when working in cold or damp workshops. Phenolic is produced under extreme high pressure and heat, resulting in fences that are exceptionally accurate, flat and level. The fences can be adjusted, tool free, to accommodate any router bit from 10mm to 115mm in diameter and the outfeed sub-fence can be off-set to allow for edge planning.

Plunge Router Lift - R5
This router lift is designed for use with plunge routers and has been meticulously engineered to ensure precise, ultra smooth raising and lowering of the router bit from above the table. The height adjustment is controlled by inserting and rotating a crank handle, making adjustment fast, simple and extremely precise. The main drive spindle is precision machined with a fine-pitch metric thread that allows you to tune-in the height of the router bit to a resolution of 0.025mm, with one full revolution giving 2mm of movement. To lock off the height you simply insert the handle into the locking mechanism hole and rotate clockwise. The carriage of the lift travels on three steel guide posts, that are housed within sealed linear bearings to resist dust infiltration resulting in an ultra smooth rise and fall movement, with no side play. To mount your router, simply remove the router's sub-base and use it as a template to align and drill the 185mm diameter aluminium mounting plate. The insert plate is made from 10mm anodized aluminium which has an abrasion resistant finish and features a levelling system to ensure a flush fit to the table surface. The insert plate has a 90mm aperture and is supplied with two polycarbonate flush insert rings with centre holes of 50mm and 35mm.

Double Feather Board
These feather boards are an essential tool and provide even, consistent pressure on your workpiece up against the fence. They allow you to apply pressure closer to the router bit, at the most critical point, without risking injury to your fingers.©

Really pleased with this router table.

Really pleased with this router table. Excellent quality from Rutlands. Mounting the router was fairly straightforward once I had worked out which direction I wanted my router to face (I would suggest having the controls somewhere easily accessible). Lift moves smoothly and locks positively in place. Very well constructed and thoroughly reccomended.

This table has lived up to its reputation

My previous router table top had warped it was another brand and MDF. All holes in stand, top and fence lined up perfectly simplifying assembly. Yes I could have bought another table for less money but I don't believe I could have found one of this quality. This table has lived up to its reputation for accuracy and quality.

Rutlands make great stuff

Rutlands make great stuff, I went for the posh phenolic top as an upgrade over my old MDF table which was getting a bit long in the tooth. The surface is really nice, very slick and weight of the table top feels substantial. Across the various components the quality and engineering is top notch. All-in-all an excellent piece of kit that will see me out.

After much deliberation I invested

After much deliberation I invested in the Rutlands phenolic router table which I'm pleased to say has exceeded all of my expectations. The photos online certainly oozed quality but seeing it in person after having unpackaged each component I knew I had made the right decision. Assembly was straightforward with clear, printed instructions for each individual part. The level of adjustment available is excellent & all machined parts are engineered to a high degree. Friendly, helpful technical advice prior to purchase helped seal the deal and routing has now becoming a much more pleasurable experience. Next on the list is a dust extraction system worth of the table setup.

Having a phenolic top means no maintenance

Having a phenolic top means no maintenance (no waxing etc) which I think is an underrated feature. Yes cast iron is heavier and more substantial, but I don't need to worry about rusting or maintaining the work surface. This table top is so smooth out of the box that boards just slide across it. The ability to adjust and offset the outfeed fence is a nice feature and one which I have made use of already. It makes the jointing of narrow edges far quick then having to setup my jointer. This is a top notch workstation which will last me for years. If you're on the fence (no pun intended) then go for it.
